The museum’s free-admission program now runs monthly through December, opening the doors wider for Oklahoma residents.

This year, leaders shifted to a second Friday of every month model to give families more flexibility.
Greenwood was once one of the most prosperous Black communities in America, built through entrepreneurship, self-determination, and a strong network of more than 300 Black-owned businesses. Its destruction in 1921 devastated lives, homes, and generational wealth, but the legacy of Black Wall Street remains central to Tulsa’s story and to the ongoing work of remembrance, restoration, and renewal.
Greenwood Rising invites guests to step into the 1950s for an immersive Green Book Experience on March 9, featuring a guided history center tour, catered meal, and theatrical performance inspired by the travel realities Black Americans navigated during segregation. With live performances by Mike McUsic and Sonya R. Wallace, the evening offers a powerful, interactive look at the role of the Negro Motorist Green Book in preserving safety, dignity, and movement.
Greenwood Rising Black Wall Street History Center will offer free admission to Oklahoma residents once per month on "Freedom Fridays," starting Feb. 13. Dr. Raymond Doswell, executive director of Greenwood Rising said, "We hope Freedom Fridays will inspire local and regional neighbors to experience Greenwood Rising during Black History Month, and all year."
